Nursery Reveal

I feel so blessed to be sharing with you my nursery design for our little girl on the way. This is a space I’ve been dreaming of for years. I collected a few pieces here and there over the past few years just waiting to fill this room. Babies don’t need elaborate nurseries, or even a dedicated room to just them if you don’t have one, but to me it’s creating energy. This room is peaceful, creative, a little whimsical, and dreamy. It brings a sense of play and wonder that I hope my daughter feels every day. Take a look at the reveal as well as the vision board I created before the real room took shape.

Linking the pieces that I can, or at least similar ones. Thanks for coming to the blog!! XO G

Wallpaper: Fable Zev Butterfly

Happy Friday! Today’s design has me dreaming of Spring. Everyone on my Instagram chose this pink/peach colored butterfly wallpaper over the purple color. How could you go wrong?! This print is an art piece in itself, I really kept the rest of the accents simple. A fun mirror, sweet wall hooks and as always, bookshelves and picture frames. This print then pairs perfectly with Sherwin Williams paint color Peach Blossom. Check out the design below and let me know what you think! XO – G

Color Series: Girls Room

Pinks & Purples, what could be better?! Today’s color series design is featuring Benjamin Moore’s 2025 Color of the Year – Cinnamon Slate! I’ve also included Tissue Pink, the perfect accent color to lighten the moody purple undertone color. These two colors together led me to florals and lots of pinks. Most of these pieces could be styled in a nursery and keep with your child’s room for years to come. It’s sweet, yet sophisticated. Just what sugar & spice is all about! Take a peak below and let me know what you think! Happy Styling – XO, G

Styling Spaces: Nursery & Kids

Another Friday, another design! Today we are wrapping up my design series ‘Styling Spaces’, and this one is for the nurseries and kids rooms. When it comes to designing spaces for your little ones, you don’t need much for décor pieces. The focus is going to be on the wall art and adding special touches here and there. You don’t want them grabbing breakables throughout their room! I curated the below pieces typical to my other nursery designs and what’s most important. Wall shelves and an art piece, plus practical storage. I added here a fun elephant piggy bank, coordinating picture frames and the ultimate stuffed animals by Jellycat. You have to check them out if you aren’t already familiar! Let me know if you have questions as you shop. As always, thanks for stopping by! XO, G

Modern Vintage Glam Nursery: Budget Series

The last nursery of this budget design series… but this one is for the budget breakers! Who’s with me?! I very much still stuck around our original price target of $1,500 for furniture and a few décor pieces, but it was time to change it up. I wanted to end on something unexpected and different, and this design says it all! I am loving the darker furniture color here and the cranes wallpaper. The black and acrylic crib is different, but pairs so well with this luxury vintage flared inspired room. I envisioned a wallpaper focal art piece, and that’s where this print comes into play. Imagine it framed out however small or large you want to go on your focal wall. Our furniture was a save here still, but the recliner and glider rocker from Namesake was our splurge. Can you guess how over budget I went? We reached a budget total of about $1,910. There’s always a little bit for everyone when it comes to designing and sticking to a budget! Thanks so much for following along these past 4 weeks. Stay tuned for our next design series! XO – G

Monochromatic Jungle Nursery: Budget Series

We’ve all seen the neutral nurseries. Cream is the color! But what about sticking to all blues, purples or pinks?! Today’s nursery was inspired by my first neutral nursery, but I wanted to stray away from the cream colored palette. I found myself sticking to a blue gray color base. The rug is our pop of art here, with the coordinating wall color. But the rest of the pieces and colors are very monochromatic. I think this design is peaceful in a way, with a lot of room to grow for styling if you’d like. Maybe add another pop of color to the crib sheets or changing pad cover. When sticking to a budget, the big pieces are where your money is going to go, but keep the décor simple and you still have a perfect space for your little cub to grow. Today’s total was $1,162. Just one more week of sticking to a budget here! Haha. I hope you are enjoying this series. We’ll see you back soon – XO, G

Sugar & Spice Nursery Design: Budget Series

Another Friday, another design! And this weeks design kicks off our 2nd series, designing on a budget! Don’t get me wrong, I tend to have expensive taste and want to pick the best of the best, but we can’t always go crazy and spend $5,000 on a bedroom makeover. I also have a degree in Accounting and who doesn’t love to budget a little to see their bank account grow? Keep your money circulating though to see it come back to you, and you have the best of both worlds! So today we’re combining design and budgeting in one. I’m a firm believer that spaces, colors, and pieces that surround you will influence your energy and moods. Creating a space for your baby and kids will be that much more special to both them and you. I’m setting the budget for these next 4 nurseries to be under $1,500! We’re putting most of the budget to the big pieces; the rocker, crib and dresser. As for décor, you can stay fairly simple with bookshelves, frames that you could thrift and fill with Etsy prints, and I love wall decals or peel & stick wall paper to fill an accent wall. Paint can also be an easy room transformation, but the supplies to do so can get expensive. I budgeted on the higher end at $100, but that may be a spot you can save on! Let me know if you have any budgeting questions, or if there is something you want to see on next week’s saving design. Thanks for stopping by! XO – G

Modern Art Deco Nursery by G

Hello and happy Friday! Today I’ve put together a design inspired by this midi sized blanket I sewed. It’s a baby pink background with a terrazzo print of navy, orange and white. It’s my take on modern art deco. When I found a rug that matched my blanket print, the visualization of this space just took off! I was envisioning a natural white crib for this space so I knew I had to start shopping at Babyletto. The acrylic rails to their Harlow crib make this piece really stand out. For this design, a matching dresser set fit the space I envision. I love to mix and match dressers and cribs, but sometimes a set is just too good to not stay cohesive. I kept the finishing accents simple, with room to add your own pieces already sourced, or to thrift new ones inspired by this design. Maybe a vintage lamp, a fun mirror or your own unique prints or artwork. For an added fun share, I placed a padded play mat by Gathre along with a modern toy bar in this nursery design. Every little piece is simple, yet very sophisticated for the modern baby! I hope you enjoyed this week’s design and I’ll be back next week with another one. Don’t forget to like my Instagram post and see the blanket print behind the design!

Written in the Stars – A Nursery Design

Do you ever find a piece of furniture and immediately want to build a room around it? How about just a color or print? I love finding a piece that speaks to me and curating a special space from it. The next 4 weeks I’m brining you just that every Friday! I recently started to sew baby blankets, and while I am not a pro sewer yet, it is brining me back to my creativity. I had the idea then to create a nursery design inspired by each print. Today, I am introducing you to the ‘Written in the Stars’ nursery design.

I started with this dreamy iron crib by Namesake. It looks like the perfect piece for your baby to fall asleep in, dreaming beneath the stars. If you checkout Namesake’s furniture pieces, you will find they have many sets to choose from. I paired the Noelle crib with this Liberty dresser. The dresser is feminine with a touch of vintage, keeping things true and classic. Timeless pieces are where I dream the most, so I hope you do too when seeing these two paired together. From there I took the colors from the blanket, and paired simple yet sophisticated accents to this design. My favorite has to be the rug. It’s washable and a really great price! I included some fun accents as well that are always needed in a nursery or home. A photo frame, these Mushie Nesting Stars, and a Kyte Baby footie for your little one to play or sleep in. Make sure you check out my links below to each piece. Also make sure to head to my Instagram @stylinglifebyg to see the blanket that inspired this all! I hope this brings you a spark of inspiration as you design or refresh your spaces! Thanks for stopping by – xo, G

A Little Lilac Nursery

Hi everyone and welcome to April! Today I wanted to put together a design that felt like Spring, as it is finally here! Often times we see nurseries designed around pinks or blues. Now though many different colors and themes are being incorporated into spaces for kids.

Below is a nursery design I put together, starting with Benjamin Moore’s paint color, Beach Plum. I kept everything else very neutral, with the one artwork piece in pink. I’ll have everything linked below, let me know what you think! XO, G

Everything is from Restoration Hardware Baby & Child, minus the rug.
